So I'm looking at Sakura, and it seems pretty nice to try out. And I hear it's possibly way better than the original firmware. So I want to know how my preferences and homebrew and such will fit into M3 Sakura:
(Questions are about the hacked English Sakura firmware, or Triple Boot)

1. Do all commercial games work with Sakura?

2. Is there 100% Download play support, and do you have to start a rom with Y or something?

3. Is there 100% Wi-Fi support?

4. Does it work with SNEmulDS?
5. Does it work with DSOrganize
6. Does it work with JabberDS?

7. Does it work with Pocket Physics?

8. Does it work with Colors!?

9. Does it work with Flipbook or any animation homebrew?

10. What are the filetypes for the built in media player for images, music, and video?

11. Does Sakura have any problems with connecting to a router? My router uses MAC filtering, no password, and disabled SSID broadcasting, and I heard the last one causes troubles.

12. Would there be DS-Wii connectivity? I've got Pokemon Ranch, and I'd like to connect it to Pearl or Diamond. (If it doesn't work on the Sakura, how about the Real?)

13. What about folders? Other than the SYSTEM folder and others required by homebrew, do I have to put my NDS games in a certain folder or homebrew will only auto-patch in the root?

14. I hear some cheats don't work on Sakura. Is this fixed or is there a way around this?

15. How big is the Triple Loader? as in filesize?

Sorry if there are too many here, just please answer what you can. And also sorry if there's something wrong with the post as I am posting on my Wii with a USB keyboard.

3. i think so

11. shouldnt
12. i think they got that working, not sure
13. you can put games wherever you want, idk about patching in root, thats where all my homebrew is =P
14. yeah, cheats kinda suck on sakura, just get the triple boot, and if you want to cheat, use the real firmware
15. oh about 60mb i think, but it has lots of skins on it

Anyone else? These aren't exactly steady answers... And they should be really simple, and many people should know, so i guess it's just a matter of few people noticing this topic?

Bolded questions i need answered:

1. Do all commercial games work with Sakura?
2. Is there 100% Download play support, and do you have to start a rom with Y or something?

10. What are the filetypes for the built in media player for images, music, and video?

11. Does Sakura have any problems with connecting to a router? My router uses MAC filtering, no password, and disabled SSID broadcasting, and I heard the last one causes troubles.

14. I hear some cheats don't work on Sakura. Is this fixed or is there a way around this?

1. Do all commercial games work with Sakura?
???I wouldn't say ALL games work, but it has close to 100% compatibility.
2. Is there 100% Download play support, and do you have to start a rom with Y or something?
???Again, I would avoid saying 100% support, but I haven't had problems. I've updated the FAQ with instructions on how to enable Download Play.
3. Is there 100% Wi-Fi support?
???See #2.
4. Does it work with SNEmulDS?
???Yes, 100% positive.
5. Does it work with DSOrganize
???It doesn't work with the hacked Sakura, but it works on my Japanese M3 Real with the original unhacked loader. Workaround: Use the Triple Loader and run DSO in M3 Real "classic" or iTouchDS.
6. Does it work with JabberDS?
???Never tried.
7. Does it work with Pocket Physics?
???Yes, 100% certain.
8. Does it work with Colors!?
???Never tried. Others have had problems getting it to run in Sakura. Workaround: Use the Triple Loader.
9. Does it work with Flipbook or any Animanatee?
???Never tried. 10. What are the filetypes for the built in media player for images, music, and video?
???Images: JPG, BMP, PNG, IPK, probably some others (GIF?)
???Audio: MP3, WAV, OGG, TTA
???Video: DPG
???Other: TXT
11. Does Sakura have any problems with connecting to a router? My router uses MAC filtering, no password, and disabled SSID broadcasting, and I heard the last one causes troubles.
???I've experienced no problems connecting to a router. 12. Would there be DS-Wii connectivity? I've got Pokemon Ranch, and I'd like to connect it to Pearl or Diamond. (If it doesn't work on the Sakura, how about the Real?)
???I don't know. Help, anyone? 13. What about folders? Other than the SYSTEM folder and others required by homebrew, do I have to put my NDS games in a certain folder or homebrew will only auto-patch in the root?
???You can organize files and folders any way you want in Sakura. Keep in mind, however, that if you use the Triple Loader, you need to keep your NDS and GBA ROMs in NDS and GBA folders, respectively. Sakura recognizes ROMs no matter where you put them, but if you boot the M3 Real's "classic" loader, it will search for ROMs in those folders. 14. I hear some cheats don't work on Sakura. Is this fixed or is there a way around this?
???As far as I know, this problem hasn't been fixed. Workaround: Use Triple Loader and enable the cheats through the old M3 Real loader.
15. How big is the Triple Loader? as in filesize?
???Surely you can answer this for yourself.
